Kea

Located in the north west Aegean, Kea is one of the largest islands of the Cyclades, with stunning beaches, plenty of archaeological sites to visit and lovely traditional villages. Kea is a walker’s paradise, with an extensive network of ancient paths for those wanting to explore by foot. Wander through the island’s beautiful landscape, past olive trees, fruit trees, almond trees and oak trees. Head to the south side of Nikolaos Bay to the port of Korissia where you’ll find the remains of the ancient town walls and a Sanctuary of Apollo. Unspoilt by tourism, Kea is an authentic Greek destination with some of the best restaurants in Greece, serving traditional local fare. Nestled in a valley of trees is Pisses, our favourite beach. It is an excellent spot for snorkelling and the best place for a late afternoon swim while the sun sets over the horizon.

Andros

Andros is the greenest island in the Cyclades with rolling hills covered in lush vegetation.  The town squares are paved in marble, and the streets narrow flanked by white washed houses.  A popular destination for Greeks on a weekend vacation, you can see why with spectacular remote beaches and many trails over the wilderness to explore.  There are also some great museums here, including a Museum of Modern Art as well as a Folklore Museum.  From the headland you can see two islands, the first linked by a brick bridge with ruins of a Venetian Castle and the second with a lighthouse.

Tinos

Tinos is a peaceful island of whitewashed villages and over 700 churches and monasteries. Famous throughout the Greek Orthodox world for its icon of the Virgin Mary, Tinos has the leading shrine of the Orthodox Church and every year people make pilgrimages here. Life on Tinos is laid back and while Tinos Town is a hive of activity with visitors paying homage to the Holy Virgin at the famous Church of the Panagia, the rest of the island is quiet and tranquil. There are plenty of secluded bays to sail and you will be spoilt for choice with beautiful beaches all around the island. Sample the local produce in the great variety of restaurants and tavernas to suit all tastes. Traditional Cycladic houses with flowered courtyards fill the picturesque little villages, creating a colourful picture.

Syros

The hilly island of Syros is found in the northern Cyclades between Kythnos and Mykonos. Its central location makes it the principal administrative centre for the Cyclades and its beautiful capital Ermoupolis is the capital not only of Syros, but of all the Cyclades Islands. Admire the neo-classical buildings and Cycladic style whitewashed houses, which line the hills down to the harbour below. The town’s main Miaouli square is among the most beautiful in Greece with coffee shops and restaurants sitting amongst palm trees. The Venetian settlement of Ano Syros, dating back to 1200 AD is also well worth a visit. With narrow lanes and a wonderfully medieval atmosphere, the town has been built in the style of an amphitheatre, with houses built on top of each other to form a defensive fortress – a throwback to the days when seaside towns needed protection from hostile enemies. Winding steps take you past houses with coloured doors and up to the 13 century Catholic Cathedral of St. George, perched on the hilltop. Enjoy the panoramic views out across the neighbouring islands of thTinos, Delos, Mykonos and Naxos.

Sounion

Most famous for the ruins of the Greek temple Poseidon, which are perched on Cape Sounion overlooking the Aegean.  It’s worthwhile heading up to the ruins and watching the sunset over the Aegean…definitely a Kodak moment!  But don’t think that’s all there is to see with its sandy beaches, café culture and great restaurants it has a lot more to offer.
